Chippewa/Luce/Mackinac 4-H are working together to put on a “Fun in the Sun” Summer Camp to be held July 24-26 at Northwoods Christian Camp — just south of Pickford — this summer, and there are still spots available. This camp is for youth ages eight to 11 (as of January 1).

Camps provide a remarkable opportunity for youth to not only develop their independence in a safe, fun, and supportive environment, but also to form great friendships with other local youth.

The first two days of the camp are divided into 50 minute learning sessions where youth will be learning how to tie flies, explore nature, work on a craft project, learn about fossils and minerals, learn kayaking skills, and several other topics. The other highlights of the camp are a beach party, beach volleyball, games, skits, a limbo contest, and fun counselors.

The deadline for registration has been extended to Friday, June 21; sign-up is on a first come, first served basis. There is a fee to attend the camp. Please stop by the Chippewa County MSUE office at 319 Court Street in downtown Sault Ste. Marie to sign-up or contact Jan by e-mailing Msu17@msu.edu or calling (906) 635-6378 for an application.
